Documentary Night

A group of friends and myself got together a few weeks ago to have a 'Documentary Night'. The Basic Premise of 'Documentary Night' is as you probably guessed to watch Documentaries. We started off by watching 'Why We Fight', which had come highly recommended by a few friends of ours. This movie really lived up to it's expectations and by the end I don't think there was a totally dry eye in the room. It was very moving movie but at the same time it was completely depressing.



To lighten the mood a bit, for the second documentary we watched a movie called 'King of Kong: Fist Full of Quarters'. This movie was about the guy who tried to take down the world record holder on 'Donkey Kong'. This was really such a great movie and we all really enjoyed it. It had the perfect mix of being comical, sad and serious, it also had a way of drawing you into the main characters and feeling like you knew them personally.



All in all, I would recommend both Documentaries. Though both are vastly different both are enjoyable in their own ways.
